Lucius narrowed his eyes at the paparazzi surrounding them. "That is enough." He scolded. The group mumbled their apologies, practically falling over each other to get away from the aggravated wizard. He pulled out a chair and beckoned Hermione to sit down. He had to admit, Draco was right, she was beautiful. Every time he had seen her prior to that evening she was in her healer robes or just casual jeans and a tee shirt. It still didn't detract from the realization that his son's best friend was to be his wife. The same girl who spent many weekends at the Manor with his son giggling and gossiping as if they were still hormone driven teenagers would soon be his betrothed.
"So," Hermione broke the silence as Lucius took his seat. "This is... uh... awkward."
Lucius nodded, still at a loss for words. The waiter approached the table looking nervously between the two. They made a very regal and stunning couple. "May I get you something to drink?"
"Yes, I will have a scotch on the rocks, and a wine list for the young lady." He said confidently.
"No need for that." Hermione smiled. "I'll have the same."
"Very good." The waiter bowed taking his leave.
Lucius raised an eyebrow at her. Hermione felt a blush creep up her neck. Since when was he so fucking good looking? "I could have sworn you and Draco were the cause of my depleted wine cellar."
"Oh no, that is all Tom and Draco. I'm the one making a dent in your scotch reserves." She laughed nervously. "I will pay you back though."
"It doesn't seem as if that will be necessary." He smiled awkwardly. They both looked down at their menus without another word.
Hermione stole a glance at Lucius over her menu. He was very handsome. It was hard to believe that the man across from her was 25 years her senior. There were barely any wrinkles on his chiseled face and his physique, even hidden under the expensive dress robes, would give wizards in their 20's a run for their money. She never took much time to really look at him over the years. She spent almost every free weekend at the Manor with Draco, and had only bumped into Lucius a handful of times during her stays.
Lucius looked up in time to catch Hermione's appraising eyes. She quickly looked back at her menu, her cheeks turning pink. Was she checking him out? He stole a look at her from the corner of his eye. The pin-up look Draco had flawlessly executed on her was breath taking. He caught his eyes wandering down to her chest as she laid her menu down on the table, and took a sip of scotch.
The blond wizard looked back up to her face, their eyes locking briefly before the waiter returned with their meal. Lucius cleared his throat and broke the awkward silence that had fallen over them.
"I believe we only have a month to be betrothed." Lucius said straightening his posture. Hermione took a sip of her scotch almost choking on the amber liquid as Lucius continued. "I figure we'll use the Manor's garden as the wedding venue and maybe go to the states for a week or two afterwards."
"Like a honeymoon?" She caught her breath, coughing into her napkin. "I was thinking more along the lines of a quick ministry ceremony and that's that."
Lucius narrowed his eyes at her, looking slightly offended. "I'm a Malfoy. I refuse to get married in an office of my employment. As for the honeymoon, I believe we will both deserve a bit of a holiday away from the paparazzi after we have made it official."
"I cannot take off work on such short notice, Mr. Malfoy." She said pushing her food around her plate in irritation.
"I think we can drop the formalities." He drawled. "You have no need for a job. You will be a Malfoy, not working class."
Hermione dropped her fork, narrowing her eyes at the smug blonde in front of her. Was he really going to go there? "I've worked too hard to leave my chosen career. I'm not giving it up just because I'm marrying into a wealthy family." She bristled.
"Fine." He said in a clipped tone. "I won't give you any trouble when it comes to your career until we start to expand the family."
Hermione laughed nervously. "I can see where Draco gets his humor from." Lucius cocked his head to the side looking affronted. "That wasn't a joke. Raising a Malfoy is a full time job in itself."
"We'll see." She said sarcastically. Of course, he was going to try to mold her into what he believed was the 'perfect wife'. "This doesn't have to be discussed right this minute." She added with a frown.
Lucius nodded in agreement. Even with a scowl on her face, she was still the most beautiful woman he had seen in a very long time. He knew she was stubborn just from overhearing her and Draco prattle on in the evenings. He glanced over his glass at her. She was lost in thought continuing to push her food around the plate.
"Mione!" Ginny called out rushing over to her. Hermione stood to wrap her arms around her friend. "I didn't expect you to be here." Ginny said with another quick hug.
"Me either!" Hermione smiled with relief.
"It's our anniversary today." Harry cut in to pull Hermione into a one armed hug.
"You look amazing!" Ginny gushed, stepping back to look her friend over. "Draco has very good taste."
"Hey! Maybe I did this myself." Hermione said with mock annoyance.
"Even I know that's a lie." Harry chuckled putting his arm around Ginny's waist.
Lucius cleared his throat loudly and stood up. He still had a good deal of dislike towards Harry, but knew that if he were to marry Hermione, Harry came along with the package. He move to Hermione's side and mirrored Harry with his hand gently laying on Hermione's hip. She jumped at the contact but was able to resist the urge to pull away from him.
"Good evening Mr. and Mrs. Potter." He said politely. Ginny and Harry looked at each other and back to the couple in front of them in disbelief.
"Harry, Ginny, you remember Mr. Malfoy." Hermione said nervously.
"Lucius." Lucius corrected her. "I'm sure you both are already well acquainted with my fiancé." He nodded over to Hermione.
Harry's mouth fell open. "Well, uh, congratulations." He said regaining his composure.
"Yes congratulations." Ginny parroted. "So how long have you been, uh..."
"It's a very recent development." Hermione said feeling Lucius tighten his grip on her. She began to feel flustered. She wasn't thrilled about the engagement, but her body had begun to betray her. Every time he moved she could feel his muscles ripple against her. He smelled fantastic, and if she were to be completely honest with herself, she wouldn't mind rolling around in the sheets with him.
Lucius smiled at the couple's reaction. Watching Harry squirm uncomfortably was very amusing. He felt Hermione's small frame shudder when he pulled her close, unsure of what to make of it until he saw the goose flesh on the back of her neck. It had been quite some time since he'd been with a woman, and he began to wonder how he could get the attractive young witch into his bed by the end of the evening.
"Why don't you join us?" Hermione asked her friends, shifting away from Lucius slightly. Lucius narrowed his eyes at her clearing his throat again. She pointedly ignored him gesturing to two empty seats at their table.
"Uh, no thanks Mione." Harry answered quickly. "We'll catch up with you later." Harry shook Lucius' hand as Ginny leaned forward to kiss Hermione on the cheek. "Owl me later." Ginny whispered before turning away.
"I'm ready to leave." Hermione announced, turning to grab her clutch on the chair. She was not going to tolerate Lucius' blatant disrespect towards her friends. He tossed a small satin bag full of galleons on the table and offered her his arm. She cut her eyes at him. "Do not embarrass me." He hissed under his breath. "If you are going to act like a spoilt brat, at least wait until we're away from these vultures to do so."
She grudgingly took his arm and followed his lead out of the restaurant. As expected, a swarm of paparazzi met them just outside the door shouting questions and taking pictures. Hermione was growing tired of all the nonsense. Lucius moved quickly through the crowd and to the apparition point. Within moments they found themselves in the luxurious foyer of Malfoy Manor.
Hermione spun on her heel facing the tall blond wizard still seething. "You will NOT be rude to my friends." She began with a hand on her hip. "Just because I'm marrying you, doesn't mean you have a say in who I associate with. That was uncalled for."
Lucius crossed his arms. "I was being rude? Ignoring your future husband while you talk to those little miscreants is rude. Obviously social etiquette isn't your forte."
Hermione began to pull her gloves off, her face growing red. She was getting tired of his pompous attitude. "This conversation is over." She snapped moving towards the fireplace. "Tell Draco and Tom I'll be home if they need me."
"Funny, I never took you as a coward Miss Granger." He sneered shrugging his shoulders. Hermione took a large step forward bringing her nose-to-nose with Lucius.
"Don't start things you don't intend to finish, Mr. Malfoy." She threatened cutting her eyes at the cocky wizard.
"Oh, I assure you," He began, leaning in so that his nose brushed against hers. "I have yet to even start."
She could feel his breath against her lips making her heartbeat quicken. The close proximity was making her head spin. It would only take one slight movement to bring their lips together. Hermione glanced up at the wizard and was thrown back into reality. She backed away quickly, bumping into Draco as he came into the room.
"I'm leaving." She growled at the wizards, spinning around to face the fireplace. Draco grabbed her arm pulling her back. "Please stay." He said quietly.
"I'll leave you both to your own devices." Lucius said in a clipped tone before making his way up the stairs to his suite.
Hermione let out a sigh of relief as Draco took her hand and led her to his own private den. "Where is Tom?" She asked realizing they were alone.
"He thought it would be best for it to be just the two of us." He smiled as she sat on the soft burgundy couch by the fire. He quickly turned to the liquor cabinet and pulled out an expensive bottle of whiskey and two shot glasses. "I'll be right back." He said placing the whiskey and glasses on the coffee table.
Hermione poured a shot for each of them just as Draco walked back in with one of his black v-neck tee shirts and a pair of gray and black flannel pants in his arms. "Here you go, Honey." Draco said tossing the clothes to her.
"Thank you." She pulled the pants on under her dress and tied them as tight as she could to keep them from sliding off her hips. Draco stood behind her to unzip the back, as he always did. She dropped the dress to the floor and slid the shirt over her head. Dressing and undressing in front of Draco didn't bother her in the slightest, it was normal. They both took their seats on the couch facing each other.
"So, I'm assuming things didn't go well." Draco began nervously.
"It wasn't terrible, but it is odd as fuck. Why would you shack me up with your father?" She took a shot placing the glass back on the table.
"Because my father deserves the best." He took Hermione's hand and gave it a gentle squeeze. "And you are the best, Honey."
"I just don't see how this is going to work." She sighed pouring herself another drink.
"It will, but you have to give it a chance."
"Draco, he wants me to leave my job and be a spoilt housewife. That's not going to happen."
He took a shot and shuddered at the bitter taste. "Compromises have to be made, Sweetie. I know you think he's this unfeeling jerk, but he really isn't. For example; he's upstairs upset right now because of how things went tonight."
She cocked her head to the side. "How do you know that?"
"I saw his face before he left. You both need to let bygones be bygones and carry on." He pulled his legs underneath him, watching Hermione throw back another shot. "Do you want to know the detailed reason why I wanted you to marry my father?" Hermione nodded.
"There is no shortage of witches who want to marry into the Malfoy family, but none want to for the right reasons. They want the power and money that comes with the name. They don't care about what is best for my father, I, or my future siblings, only themselves. I know you wouldn't marry my father of your own volition, but I know you would never hurt or use him either. I love you, Sweetie." He said kissing her forehead.
"I love you too." She sniffled wiping away a tear.
Draco leaned back and laughed. "What's so funny?" She asked.
"I'm just thinking about all the times you threatened to sleep with my Father when I've pissed you off." He took another shot. "Now you have to eat your words." Hermione scrunched up her nose then giggled. "Oh I'll tell you all about it."
Draco gagged. "Ew. No, Honey just no."

Author's Note:
Wow! I didn't expect to get such a quick response to this fic! I know it's a bit odd to turn Draco into a very flamboyantly fabulous man, but after reading a fair bit of LM/HG fics that showed Draco as an invalid or severely ill, I thought it was about time to let Draco have some fun. I haven't been able to get the thought of an overly fabulous Draco out of my head... And now it's on the internet. XD
Now it's on to the "Awesome Readers" portion of the A/N!
Sailorgemini- Thank you for the kind words my dear! I've never been told my writing was 'beautiful' so I had a full on blush going on!
Delia- I love me some Severus Snape! I have a SS/HG fic I'm actively writing at the moment. I've never read any HP/SS fics before. Very interesting *strokes chin*. I never really gave any thought to LM/HG fics until a few weeks ago. After reading a few fics I was hooked! Thanks for the review!
HG4eva- As always, it's an honor to have you reviewing my work! Thank you love!
Colao- I hope I can keep the 'fun' coming! Thank you for your review!
And, of course, I want to thank every single person who has read and/or rated this story! It never fails to make me smile =)
